The batteries will need to be located in a separate cabinet.
15U Cabinet
The recommended mounting position for the PIB is on the right hand gearplate flange. This provides suitable
earthing. Alternatively the PIB can be mounted on the left side of the gear plate on one of the two suitable footprints,
but this will leave less room for
MX
Loop Cards, etc.
Figure 34 shows the 3 possible mounting positions for the PIB on the 15U
MX1
gearplate.
Figure 34
– Possible PIB Mounting Positions
When mounting the PIB in position 2, earth leads will need to be fitted between earth tabs J23 and J25 and the
gearplate. When mounting the PIB in position 3 an earth lead will be required to be fitted between earth tab J25 and
the gearplate. No earth lead is required for J23 as there is a metal standoff on the gearplate.
A Moxa switch and one Ethernet extender (or 2 Ethernet extenders) can be mounted using one FP1012 mounting
bracket. This bracket is mounted on the left side of the gearplate, as shown in Figure 35. Note the Moxa switch
needs to be earthed to the cabinet via the earth screw on its top, and the Ethernet extender requires 10mm of clear
air around it for ventilation.
It is possible to mount the PIB and the FP1012 in the same position to allow room for other devices such as
MX
Loop Cards. But in this case only the Moxa switch or an Ethernet Extender can be mounted on the FP1012 bracket
and the PIB LEDs will not be visible.
